GUNNISON, Colo. -
The Air Force wrestling team posted a 4-0 record at the 24th-annual Tracy Borah Duals, hosted by Western State Colorado, on Saturday.

With the dual victories, the Falcons improve to 7-2 on the season.

Against WSCU, Air Force won its first seven bouts to stake a 26-0 lead before the Mountaineers came back to win decisions in the final three weight classes. Junior Jesse Stafford (Loomis, Calif.) led the way for the Falcons, scoring a technicall fall at 165 pounds, while Natrelle Demison (Fr., Bakersfield, Calif.), Josh Kreimier (Sr., Fort Collins, Colo.) and Konner Witt (So., Oak Harbor, Ohio) posted major decisions at 149, 157 and 174 pounds, respectively.

In their second dual of the day, the Falcons won eight of 10 bouts, with Kreimier, Stafford and 197-pounder Jack Carda (Jr., Kimball, S.D.) registering falls to lead Air Force. Meanwhile, Air Force won eight straight matches to start its dual versus Colorado Mesa, before dropping its final two bouts.
